since my original posting i've removed a section from the top drive shelf ( tween the rails as it were ) to allow the 4G below to radiate a bit better ~ and getting my hands on some fans to help out more is next on agenda , the 4G virtually fills the lower drive bay which probably accounts for the lack of heat dispersion ~ but i was limited in choice ~ budget & availablity & time ( as the original HD started to make it's near demise noticable ) , i've got an SCSI squirrel box with a 1G inside it ~ if availablity & budget ever co-incide for a big lump that's where it'd go , ------- http://members.tripod.com/~petlibrary http://www.icpug.org.uk/national http://www.fortunecity.co.uk/skyscraper/perl/316 -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
